I can't count on the NHLI think that the incoming tv deal still gives us a much needed cap increase just when we will need it to resign core guys.

I could be wrong but I read that as average of 45 million per team not 45 million for all the teams collectively.
That sounds fun in theory until you realize hockey players say abhorrent shit on the ice and that being broadcasted to the world would cause all sorts of issuesBased on the success of podcasts like Spittin Chiclets and stand alone streaming service of NHL.tv I would love to see the NHL have a "PPV" version of feeds.
Uncensored, on-ice microphones, ability to mute commentary plus more behind the scenes stuff a la the Winter Classsic stuff we've seen in the past that got great moments like Jagr in Phily and the humongous big exchanges. Maybe even make a deal with HBO Max?
Oh Yeah! LAF in the house! LGR!!!
I'd rather have Kakko and Laf. Plus we had a great run with Marty.If we'd kept all our picks in the 2015 draft, we'd have Beauvillier, Nattinen, Saarela, and Gaudette. Instead, we got Etem, Gropp, Raph Diaz, two runs with MSL and one run with Staal.
I dont know that Beauvillier is the difference between us winning those lotteries or not, but point taken with MSL.I'd rather have Kakko and Laf. Plus we had a great run with Marty.

Other than Saarela who already has the reputation for being a headcase (four orgs in four years) there is no guarantee the Rangers pick any of those guys.
The run with MSL fell a little short but they were two excellent years. I know no one here is big on banners but it's nice when you go to an arena and see some Division and Eastern Conference Banners to add to the history. The Rangers did a nice job adding four last decade.
I probably paid more for that pastrami sandwich at the Carnegie Deli stand than Dolan paid in taxes. on MSG.
Is there some evidence other than being traded for labeling Saarela a head case? I haven't read anything like that.Other than Saarela who already has the reputation for being a headcase (four orgs in four years) there is no guarantee the Rangers pick any of those guys.

Going for it and giving up those 1st round picks was the right call. Look, some fans will always find fault in what the Rangers do in trades. If we didn't acquire Nash, Yandle and St Louis, we'd have people complain how we wasted Lundqvist's career. Now we actually did, and some complain we gave up the specific player picked with our selection by another team.

Who doesnt want to get called up?Blackhawks acquire Ian McCoshen from Panthers for Aleksi Saarela
In August, he criticized Carolina during an interview with a Finnish newspaper for not calling him up to the NHL. He then didn’t make the Blackhawks’ opening-day roster and was assigned to Rockford prior to the team’s trip to Europe for the NHL Global Series. He had one assist and was seeing limited time on the IceHogs’ second power-play unit in five games.
Hawks also moved on from him after only four months. Soooooo...
Teams need reasons to call a player up. If you don’t earn it with your play, you’re not going to earn one with your mouth.Who doesnt want to get called up?
How can you pass on those pickles?????This extra meat for $1 pastrami corned beef sandwich is a tradition when my son and I are at the Garden. French dressing, no pickles.
I dont think a kid saying "I should get called up" makes them a head case.Teams need reasons to call a player up. If you don’t earn it with your play, you’re not going to earn one with your mouth.

When a prospect publicly criticizes his team for not calling him up, it’s a bad look. It’s even worse look when he requests a trade from the next team he plays for.I dont think a kid saying "I should get called up" makes them a head case.

He might not necessarily be a headcase, but I can tell you his two former teams wanted nothing to do with him. That should tell you something.
Duclair is in the top tier of remaining FAs. How many teams has he been on? 23 G last season. Another headcase, likely.
